The silver is the silveriest, and it looks delicate, but it put up with heat and drought in full sun for me without complaining much. I winter sowed these last year, and when they came up, I planted them in a huge pot with a small red cascade rose. They eventually crawled over the edge and dripped out.

This is a fabulous plant that cascades over rocks and adds contrasting light blue green foliage to my sunny hillside garden. A single tiny plant from a small pot has grown to occupy a space about four by three feet over the three months it has been growing in my garden.
